I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 172 Lunch Supply

Cui Zuojing stayed on the steel frame overnight.

Throughout the night, he could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting and screams from other places, and people fled here from time to time. He watched a battle between pilgrims and overalls. The man was not weak , a person knocked down two overalls, only suffered some minor injuries, and quickly hid before other creatures came to help.

The strength of the overalls is not too strong, but they have an advantage in numbers. Their goal seems to be to clean up the traces left by the pilgrims in the factory during the day. If people hide deliberately, they should be able to spend the night safely.

There was a trace of mist outside the window, which gradually became brighter. In the twilight sky, the searchlight that had been on all night suddenly went out, which officially marked the end of the first night.

The machines started working again automatically.

Cui Zuojing stretched and jumped off the steel frame.

After a day and a night, the remaining people should all have two brushes.

I just don't know if these few brushes are enough for him to see.

From the man killed by the "maintenance worker" last night, the two cards Cui Zuojing got were wolves and red deer, neither of which had been upgraded. Obviously, he first accumulated secret letters and cards and waited until the end to use them. The idea is not his alone.

Even so, both cards looked much better than his little goldfish.

...How do you feel so sad?

Cui Zuojing walked leisurely through several factory buildings, searching for traces of secret letters. There were a lot of things in the factory buildings, except for the large-scale processing machinery that occupied the largest area, there were many containers and steel materials in the corners, stacked up, Increased terrain complexity.

Cui Zuojing jumped into the group of containers. Each of these boxes was much taller than others. Walking through them was like walking in an alley. Soon, he found a letter sandwiched between the boxes.

Based on the experience of "the key item should not appear in the same place multiple times", the boy does not intend to waste any more time in this place.

He casually put the secret letter into his pocket, and at the moment the wind blew past his ears, he tilted his head slightly, and raised his hand to grab the fist that hit him on the back of the head.

"The footsteps are too heavy, the fist is too slow, and the strength is not enough." Cui Zuojing pushed the fist out forcefully, turned to the attacker and said, "If it were with me, you would have been fined five kilometers for failing. Even the girls on our team are doing better than you."

The young man had a smile on his face, but there was no emotion in his black eyes, which only made people feel cold. The attacker was a strong man with a vertical scar on his left eyelid. He was bluffed by this look, and immediately punched him again, and at the same time, he swept his leg suddenly, attacking Cui Zuojing's lower body.

The young man took a slight step back, dodging the scarred man's sweeping legs, and at the same time quickly grabbed his wrist and pulled it forward——

He wasn't very strong, so Scar just leaned forward a bit when he was pulled, but at this moment, Cui Zuojing's figure disappeared in front of him like a ghost!

Then, a huge force kicked the man with the scar on his ass, causing him to fly out!

"It's boring."

Cui Zuojing stared at the man who was hurriedly getting up from the ground, put his hand into his trouser pocket, raised his chin, lowered his eyes and said without any emotion: "Did you take the initiative to hand over the card, or let me search it myself?"

The man with the scar gritted his teeth fiercely, and the short fight made him understand that he couldn't please the young man in front of him.

"You're lucky!" He said viciously, and with a wave of his arm in front of him, the smoke rose up and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Hiding form?" Cui Zuojing fanned the white smoke floating in front of him with his hand, smelled the smell of grass in it, and shrugged his shoulders.

Running if you can't beat it, and running so fast, is indeed a very useful ability.

He didn't care at all that the other party slipped away from him—or, if Cui Zuojing wanted to chase after him, even if the man with the scar had such ability, it would be difficult for him to escape in front of Cui Zuojing.

He just couldn't be bothered to move.

【Prisoner No. 736】

Two guards walked all the way from the end of the corridor to the brig where he was being held.

Dong Zheng "saw" this scene from the surveillance, and opened his eyes silently.

Sure enough, the next moment, the five doors of the confinement room opened one after another, and the security personnel came over, put an electronic collar around his neck, uncuffed his handcuffs and ankles, asked Dong Zheng to stand up, and cuffed his hands behind his back.

"Go." The guard simply and roughly pushed him out of the confinement room.

The surveillance showed that the people in the confinement rooms next to him had also been taken out by the guards. The guards escorted the prisoners and walked on the corridor, which was filled with rough reprimands and shouts. If any prisoner spoke back or wanted to To resist, it will be a resounding slap in the face.

——Violence against prisoners is tacitly allowed by the prison. As long as no one is killed, everyone will turn a blind eye. After all, the prisoners here are all vicious criminals, and no one will hold them. sympathetic.

Dong Zheng would not intentionally commit crimes, he silently and obediently followed behind the lead prison guard, observing the appearance of the prisoners.

Apparently, not only human beings are imprisoned in this prison, but there are all kinds of humanoid creatures with different shapes, hair, colors, skin colors, wings and tail horns, and many strange creatures. Dong Zheng even saw a shit yellow slime, Locked in a transparent box and carried by two prison guards.

He was taken all the way to a certain hall, where there were already many prisoners, all standing under the stage, separated from each other by guardrails.

Dong Zheng was taken to a cubicle, and the handcuffs and railings locked him firmly in this small space. Two guards were behind him, with their guns pointed at his lower back. Dong Zheng had no doubt that if someone Any movement, they will shoot immediately.

Dong Zheng stood obediently, as if he was standing obediently like this.

But if you observe carefully, you can find that the man's eyes are staring straight at a point in the void, and he is lost in thought.

Through the monitoring, Dong Zheng saw the old man in a black suit who was being surrounded and walked to the hall. He was talking with another man. Judging by his attire, he should be the warden.

Dong Zheng quickly regained his sense of peeping.

He is still afraid of being discovered. When he invades the electronic system, his consciousness exists in the form of data stream. If he is not careful, he may be regarded as an illegal intrusion virus. If he is targeted by the anti-virus system, his consciousness will be trapped or hurt. , he might be fooled on the spot.

Prisoners kept entering the hall, and it soon filled it up. With prison guards guarding it, it was quiet and orderly.

Dong Zheng was able to confirm that those humans who looked like him among the prisoners were all pilgrims, because they were also observing the surroundings in secret. After a while, the old man in black suit and the warden arrived here.

They stood on the stage, and the warden looked serious, looking at the prisoners on the ground, as if looking at a bunch of garbage, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Luke brought good news." The warden said coldly, "Received the notice from above, this prison will conduct an amnesty, this is the only amnesty in the past hundred years since the establishment of the prison, and those who have the opportunity to receive amnesty, will have the right to leave here."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. If it wasn't for the guns pointing behind them, those extremely excited prisoners would probably be able to knock down the roof of the house.

But more people quickly calmed down, waiting for the words from the warden. Most of the prisoners locked here are not simple. Corresponding to the cruel crimes, they have superior IQ and psychological quality.

"And to get an amnesty, it's very simple. In the next two and a half days, you need to do everything possible to escape from here to the outside. We will arrest those who are caught, regardless of the remaining sentence. , will spend the rest of their lives here.”

"To put it simply, we will remove the positioning devices on your body and let you use them to your heart's content. If you escape, you will be granted an amnesty. If you cannot escape, you will be imprisoned here until you die. You can choose to participate or not to participate. .”

The warden looked around and said coldly, "Okay, is there anything else you didn't understand?"

No one answered, and a pair of fierce eyes stared at him like wolves and tigers, flickering with crazy eagerness to try.

"Okay, if there is no problem, let's start signing up." The warden and the old man in the black suit stepped off the stage and handed over the rest to the other managers of the prison.

Almost all the prisoners have signed up. They are all gamblers. Since there is a chance to leave, why not take a gamble?

Although, they all knew that since the prison dared to do this, it must have a deeper purpose and means.

In other words, the prison is sure that no one will be granted amnesty.

But what if?

The prisoners who signed up were taken back to their cells, and the few prisoners who chose not to participate were taken away by the prison guards alone.

Dong Zheng was locked back on the chair. According to the person in charge of the prison, two hours later, the activities related to obtaining the right to amnesty will officially begin.

When the heavy door in front of him opens again, what will he see?

"Um……"

Cui Zuojing walked in the factory building, and his stomach grunted.

He rubbed his flat stomach, and his mouth was dry and uncomfortably dry. It had been nearly twenty hours since he came in, and the bottle of water he brought out of the small room had been drunk not long ago.

So hungry.

In Endless IKEA, because there is a special area for kitchen utensils, food will automatically emerge from the stove, microwave, and sink. People inside don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. They just need to resist the "IKEA employees" and the loneliness that can drive people crazy.

Cui Zuojing knew that the circus would definitely not let them die of hunger and thirst inside, there must be a supply point.

He accelerated his search, and finally found a pipe that was different from other roots in an inconspicuous corner.

The pipe looks like a drainpipe, and the outlet at the end is slightly raised. A red cloth strip is tied to it, with a Q-version clown head painted on it.

Cui Zuojing squatted beside him, knocked on the pipe, and shouted in a low voice: "Hey, buddy, give me something to eat."

There was a gurgling sound.

Immediately afterwards, the lunch box and mineral water bottle rolled out, and a pair of chopsticks were kindly given.

"That's right, I finally came here, so I have to entertain you, right?" Cui Zuojing sat on the ground, opened the lunch box, and the smell of black pepper steak soup immediately wafted out, so fragrant that he almost bit his own tongue.

The hunger was even worse at this moment. Cui Zuojing took a sip, and the taste was as good as the smell.

The food provided by the circus has improved a lot compared to before.

"Thanks."

Cui Zuojing left the pipeline with his lunch box and found a hidden place to continue. He was so hungry that he ate very quickly. In less than 3 minutes, the lunch box was almost empty.

Whoosh-!

A piece of iron sheet suddenly flew from afar, hit the container with a sound of "Ping!" and was ejected, brushing Cui Zuojing's cheek.

Cui Zuojing paused the hand holding the chopsticks.

"Boy, hand over the food." An aunt who was taller than a man appeared on the container, looked down at the boy sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said in a rough voice.

Behind Cui Zuojing, a thin woman emerged from the shadow of the container, holding iron plates in both hands, staring closely at the lunch box in the boy's hand.

They are attracted by the aroma.

Cui Zuojing slowly put the last mouthful of rice drenched in black pepper sauce into his mouth under the wolf-like gaze of the two, threw the lunch box casually, stood up clapping his hands, and said vaguely: "Sorry, I'll eat It's over, if you want... I'll spit it out to you?"
